Danfoss Randall 3060

Q: Hi, I have a Randall 3060 controller which was fitted to my system in the late eighties. It has a white plastic oblong cover with a metal front. dimensions are as follows H 21cm x W 10cm x D approx 6cm. The knob positions are exactly the same. Is your item advertised (Danfoss Randall 3060)a direct replacement for mine?
Kind regards

A: Yes it is.

Q: I have a Randal controller fitted for central heating boiler - oblong, brown plastic, with metal front plate. The knob positions are like the 3060 advertised.
Q1: will the 3060 replace this?
Q2: How do I get the old one off? - two (double)cables go into the bottom of the controller.

A: Yes it will.
Under the knob there is a screw to remove the cover. Once the cover is removed it will slide up off the backplate.

Q: Timer not ticking...hot water not coming on even when set to ON. Boiler not firing and pump not working..even emersion heater not working

A: Check the unit is receiving power (no fuse blown or switch tripped). If it is receiving power and the clock is not rotating then it will need to be replaced.

Q: Hi !
My Danfoss Ranall 3060 has started to run slower on the timing clock. This has started after my annual servicing of the Central Heating/ Water Heating Boiler. Is this this a known problem ?

A: After time the motors can weaken meaning they run slower than normal. Unfortunately the only cure is replacement.

Q: I have set the dial to H off W twice and yet a radiator still becomes hot ... Is this a problem with the plumming?

A: This is normally caused by a motorised valve problem, particularly if it still occurs when the thermostat is turned down. However, if there has been recent change to the system, it could be caused by a plumbing or wiring fault.

A range of basic electro-mechanical time controls for heating and domestic hot water systems favoured by Local Authorities nationwide for simplicity of operation.

The control modules plug into a separate wallplate/terminal block making installation and servicing as simple as possible. Please note this unit is for replacement purposes only (no backplate included)

All models feature a 24-hour clock with colour coded On and Off tappets which are simply moved to the desired position on the dial to provide 2 on and 2 off periods per day.

The 3060 can also be used to replace the 3020P using the existing backplate.
